Crochet beanie Pom Pom

Adding a pom-pom to your crochet beanie can be a fun and whimsical way to finish off your hat. Here’s a simple method to make a pom-pom and attach it to your beanie:

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in your desired color
• Cardboard or pom-pom maker
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Crochet hook or piece of yarn for attaching the pom-pom

Instructions:

1. Prepare your cardboard or pom-pom maker. If using cardboard, cut two identical circles with a diameter of your desired pom-pom size. Cut a smaller circle in the center of each cardboard circle. If using a pom-pom maker, follow the instructions provided with the tool.
2. Hold both cardboard circles together or open your pom-pom maker. Take the end of your yarn and thread it between the two circles or through the center of the pom-pom maker.
3. Start wrapping the yarn around the circles or pom-pom maker. Continue wrapping until the yarn is thick enough to form a full pom-pom. The more yarn you wrap, the denser the pom-pom will be.
4. Once you’ve finished wrapping the yarn, carefully cut the yarn along the edge of the circles or pom-pom maker.
5. Take a separate piece of yarn and slide it between the two cardboard circles or through the center of the pom-pom maker. Tie it tightly in a double knot, making sure to secure all the yarn strands.
6. If using cardboard, carefully remove the cardboard circles. If using a pom-pom maker, open it up and release the pom-pom.
7. Trim any uneven or longer strands of yarn to give your pom-pom a more even and rounded shape. Be careful not to cut the tie yarn used to secure the pom-pom.
8. Thread the loose ends of the tie yarn onto a yarn needle. Insert the needle through the top of the beanie where you want to attach the pom-pom.
9. Pull the yarn through the top of the beanie, ensuring the pom-pom is positioned securely.
10. Tie a knot with the yarn ends inside the beanie, securing the pom-pom in place.
11. Weave in any loose ends with the yarn needle to secure them and ensure a clean finish.
